hello all.
i'm not really new i registered about three years ago but never had the guts to post.
i'm still in but want to be out..
Welcome! Glad to hear from you! I'm a born-in, baptized at 12, married at 19, and I just registered for summer online classes! I do admire you for sticking it out as long as you have. Once I made my mind up to leave, I was gone. I don't have the patience. I can't even stand two-week notices, ha ha! However, I also don't have any kiddos. That would have been a whole different ball game.
Anyway, good luck!
my wife and i are thinking of moving our family to a better place in the us....away from jw family and out of the southern bible belt.
just curious how many of you live around co and, more specifically, near fort collins?
of course, we're open to any city that is less conservative and has awesome summer weather and outdoor activities.
I live in WY, but my brother and his young family live in Johnstown, a few miles south of Ft. C. We go down to visit quite a bit and really like the area. Ft. C, Loveland, or any of the little town in the area would be a nice place to live.
i have heard quite a bit about the july 15th watchtower magazine on this sie.
so i went and downloaded it and read several of the articles.. page 16 paragraph 6 states : "well, apostates are mentally diseased,and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings".
how horrible, they seem to know sooo much about menal health !.
Apostates according to the WBTS
hi to all the brothers and sisters and friends who are using this site.

Welcome, Dan! What a privilege to be able to experience life in another part of the world!
P.S. The ads change all the time. For instance, the one on this page now is for something called ecotech institute w/ a pic of someone in a hardhat.
game winning homerun turns tragic - but then something amazing happenedwww.godvine.comafter this girl hit her first ever home run, she tore her acl running to first base.
just when tragedy was inevitable, something odd, yet amazing, happened.
watch this very touching video to see the inspirational outcome.
Amazing compassion and self sacrifice shown by 'worldly' people who are destined to be destroyed horribly by a loving God at armageddon unless they humour the JWs who come knocking at their doors lol.
It can't be said any better!
Hear, hear!
I wish I could show this to every JW that says participating in sports is bad.
Good things come in small packages.
Not even an inkling of a glimmer of a thought of going. It seemed pointless while I was still a JW! I told my ex that during a memorial one year. You should have seen the look on his face!
things i thought about during the memorial talk last night:.
i don't know if it was just the memorial i went to or if this was across the board, but it seems that the talk was dumbed down a bit more than it had been in the past.
not that it wouldn't surprise me if was dumbed down.
Great musings, UC. I especially liked your points on Adam and 1 Corinthians.
Several years before I left, the memorial started to seem pointless to me. I remember leaning over to my ex during one of them and actually said, "What's the point?" You should have seen the look on his face!!
ricky rocks.

Thanks for the link. It reminded me of his movie, The Invention of Lying. Pretty funny stuff.
